Hit that Curl Surf Buds: Trivia with a Spunky Munky

A decent prosciutto. A new owner for the Twins. A wedding proposal. Trivia Mafia's longest-tenured Emily wants the simple things, but she doesn't know how to get them.

Sean hit us with a Before-and-After round all about sitcoms (27:10), and to celebrate Memorial Day and the start of summer, we decided to end the show with a round about starts (38:28). 👉 No Brains, No Lightbulbs is a trivia podcast produced by the world’s greatest trivia company, Trivia Mafia [https://triviamafia.com/], in the great state of Minnesota. 📍 Find a Trivia Mafia trivia [https://www.triviamafia.com/locations] night near you! 📥 Sign up for “The Morning Rounds [http://eepurl.com/iKporo],” Trivia Mafia’s amazing daily Trivia trivia newsletter! 🫶 Join our Patreon [https://patreon.com/triviamafia?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink] for exclusive member perks and other goodies!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
